Meet MICKEY “MeMpHiTz” WRIGHT: Vice President of A&R for Jive Records. This week, the man who signed T-Pain takes us into his world in a three-part series of his first exclusive VIBE blog. Part one. 

I'm tryna get wealthy round this piece. Need to DO WORK and make that happen.


So this is my first stab at this whole “bloggin” thing…I’m supa busy all the time. Between family and my biz (HiTz Committee, Jive, New Era, etc.)  I ain’t got a minute to rest! I’m all ova the place and so I’m given ya a taste of that- the blog might be all ova the damn place! Lets get it poppin…

Had a major moment on Friday- Puff and Chris Lighty introduced me as “MeMpHiTz aka Young Diddy” to a entire class of Baltimore kids while I was at the Bad Boy offices to talk about what I do in the industry. I told them my story- about how I went from an intern to CEO of my own company- HiTz Committee, kept it extra crispy wit em about the game and life, and they loved it. They said I inspired them! That made me feel high!  I took pics with the kids and let them wear my chain.

Friday night I went to my homegirl Massah’s birthday party at this very very cool spot downtown . . .It was star studded in that piece-Jigga was in there, Diddy came through, Melyssa Ford, my homie Bu. Out tha frame!

Watched that Rob and Big shit this weekend- funny as hell. It’s one of the only reality shows that I really laugh at. Those two mofos are crazy even though he uses my “DO WORK” slogan. But it’s cool . . . I own the slogan anyway. I'll be so glad when they bring back Three 6 Mafia’s “Adventures in Hollyhood.” It’s super funny, and they from Memphis like me!

On Monday I took my new HiTz Committee artist, Asia Cruise, to TRL.  She killed it! She looked fly, was on point, we made it on the million…dollar screen again!

I gotta get ready for my New Era 901 fitteds to come out this week...The line is going to be off the chain… I'm tryna get wealthy round this piece. Need to DO WORK and make that happen.

My family is very important to me, and my daughter told me this week she needed a vacation, so I gotta think of somewhere to take her!

But check me out tomorrow ya’ll … I’m out.
